    Auto trans FAIL

    Thanks, I saw that there's two pieces when I was under it today, that kicks ass. I haven't been able to get it apart yet, my garage is full (rx-7 inside) and it started raining. Is a manual trans speedo cable (the transmission part) the same as an automatic?

    Auto trans FAIL

    The car: 1987 Turbo - 4 speed auto car started life as a manual and was AUTO swapped I've NEVER beaten on it, I don't think it's seen past 4000RPM or more than 2-3PSI since I've owned it the problem: Transmission has been working pretty much flawlessly since I've owned the car aside...

    7M short block strength in high torque applications in question.

    nobody uses antilag on the street, aside from maybe for launches, unless they want to replace turbine wheels on a monthly basis. (if not sooner, depending on how its driven). What HKS twins are lagmonsters, and where'd you hear that? And what's the reason for them being laggy? If nissan...

    7M short block strength in high torque applications in question.

    I think there's something being miscommunicated here for sure. if you want 400 horsepower, and one turbo, you use 1 400 HP capable turbo. If you want 400 horsepower, and two turbochargers, you use 2 small 200hp capable turbos. Why would you use 2 big ones when 2 small ones would do the job...

    7M short block strength in high torque applications in question.

    OFC a single GT28 would spool faster than a pair of them. But it'll only make half the power as it's half the size, what do you expect? My point is that two smaller turbochargers sized to match a bigger single, the twins should spool earlier. So if you take and plumb all of your cylinders...

    Sport Compact Car throws in the towel...

    I've been reading SCC on and off since 1997, 3 or 4 years before I even had my license. Great magazine, I loved their rally coverage and learned much from its pages. Turbo isn't bad, but it's no SCC. Grasroots motorsports will probably get my money from now on. I also really like 0-60 but...

    How much does the stock fuel pump flow?

    I searched for this and can't find this info anywhere.. does someone have a flow chart for the stock 7M-GTE fuel pump? Wondering how much horsepower it'll support, and if the stock R32 skyline GTR pump I've got laying around is worth putting in or not. It's rated for 240LPH, and seemed to...

    7M short block strength in high torque applications in question.

    Parallel turbos /are/ the slowest responding of twin setups - but they're far from slow, and they'll still outperform a single. You've got less turbo inertia, and therefore faster spool times. Why do you think nissan, porsche, etc use twin turbos instead of just one? They sure aren't saving...

    7M short block strength in high torque applications in question.

    well since this thread is now TOTALLY off topic anyways (how strong is the stock block) I'll post a comment regarding twins: while a single modern BB turbo will certainly outperform a pair of old, crappy, 70's era twin turbos, below 600HP and where "lag" is an issue (most turbo lag is in your...

    Rx-7 550 Hi Impedance injectors(TII)

    GL finding tan injectors, they were only installed in early 1987 (and all japanese 1986) TII's. In all the rx-7's I've owned (more than 2 dozen) I've only seen 1 set of these. late 1987/all 1988 (most TII rx-7's were made this way it seems) are red top (orig purple, but they've all faded to...
